Rabbi Sacks Classics Library Project In this pioneering study of Jewish thought, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacksaddresses a crucial dilemma for Jews and Judaism today. The Holocaustand t he birth of the State of Israel have combined to create a strongcontemporary awareness of peoplehood – of Jews as sharing a commonhistory, destiny and responsibility.
